Got it. You have no interest in actual facts or in having an honest discussion about Senator Warren, similar to your thread on Senator Harris. 

 

I could not agree more.  There's nothing but accusations and a whole bunch of Youtube videos.

This is a plan she has discussed that would help minorities.  It took me less than 5 seconds to find it via Google.

Everything I post about Senator Kamela Harris is facts she did throughout her political career. Presidential candidates are supposed to be scrutinized. Just because I write a post about the presidential candidates does not mean I will not support the nominee at the end of the day.

With all due respect, you don't just write a post.  You bombard us with numerous videos over and over, yet you never state what is important to you or what you are looking for in a candidate.  That's your prerogative, but it is difficult to filter though the negativity.  Frankly, I don't watch any of those videos.  They seem like a bit of a smear campaign to me.

No candidate is perfect.  Most are far from perfect.  Right now Democrats and those who dislike what our country has become under Trump need to focus on one thing-nominating a candidate who can win the 2020 election and removing him from office.  Perhaps in 2024 we can get back to ideals and dissecting all the candidates, but to me, that is secondary right now.  I'm not interested in the minutiae and nit picking of every Democratic candidate.

 Warren’s act includes a provision to use federal funds to help bridge the wealth gap between black and white families.

The American Housing and Economic Mobility Act, which Warren introduced in the Senate this fall, features detailed strategies for attacking the housing crisis from a number of angles. There are policy prescriptions for building more housing in markets where demand has lapped supply. There are also answers for homeowners who are still underwater on their mortgages in the wake of the financial crisis...

...   Warren’s bill drives at two distinct housing crises: one marked by not enough homes, the other by homes with too little value. Those two features alone would signify a sweeping effort to speak to worries in rural and urban America alike. The bill goes further, however: Warren’s act includes a provision to use federal funds to help bridge the wealth gap between black and white families...

...   According to a study conducted by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, "considerable racial disparities in pregnancy-related mortality exist." In the most recent data retrieved by the CDC, during 2011-2014, the pregnancy-related mortality ratios were 12.4 deaths per 100,000 live births for white women compared to the 40 deaths per 100,000 live births for black women...

...   "The data shows that Black women are three to four times more likely than white women to die from pregnancy or childbirth-related causes," Warren wrote in her column. "This trend persists even after adjusting for income and education...

...   If health systems are able to reduce the disparities found in maternal death rates for women of color and increase survival rates they will "earn a bonus," Warren told a gathering of women of color at the She the People forum in Houston. If not, "money will be taken away from them."

"I want to talk to the hospitals …I want to talk to them in a language they understand: money," Warren said. "I want to see the hospitals see it as their responsibility to address this problem head-on and make it a first priority. The best way to do that is to use money to make it happen."...
